I wish not to revive the dismission of that question ; but as I shall not have an opportunity to reply, I beg to request, if any thing be 'said you will postpone . your judgment till I have an op- PortuoitY to explain. - You have too much-intelligence to be led away by the last word ; the real last word is the word that lasts gorigest,—(Great cheers).

'With respect to canvass, my opinion is, that every candidate ought to go to the door of every man whose vote he asks, and submit his conduct to the strictest scrutiny. It ham also this good effect; it brings the young aristocracy in contact with those whom it does them good sometimes to meet—(Cheers.) — It teethes them to know that they were made for the world,, and not the world for them--(Applause.)

Will you give them admission to every Office, except the two Lord Chancellors of England and Ireland, and a few other offices? I now repeat the question. The Rev. Mr. Onetow said it was impossible that a gentleman of Mr. Pannier's talents and education should not have made up his mind on this important question ; and he now put it again to the Hon. Gentleman. Will he answer what is the bias of hi s n mid on the subject? Mr. Pa Lestent—l will, Sir, frankly declare that the present bias of my mind it against the Catholics.—(Chters.)---But cir cumstances may aitet.4 new plan may he submitted ; and al should vote against the C at h o li cs, though, if called now, l' yet I will not say that my 'conviction may not ehange.

This day, pursuant to iitivertisement; n County Meeting *at hdd at Alorpeth, tOr the. purpose of nominating the 'Candidates for the County of INforthinnberhoul at the ensiling election. It is intpossihle to describe the eitlrenie bustle and confusion which pervaded the tftn frOnt an early hour in the morning. The. bands of the ditVerent candidates played round the streets from eight o'clock. About ten' o'clock, Lord Howick, accompanied by several Gentlemen, \vas drawn in, preceded by a band of music, and an immense - profusion of banners hearing various in scriptions. The other candidates arrived shOrtly afterwards, hi a similar manner. About twelve (Muck the candidates and their friends arrived at the hustings, when the Scene becanie most posing ; the crowds of hamlets, and the 'various bandb, !brining a tumultuous grandeur tot to lle ti`eSciitled. Matthew Clayton, Esti:, in the thietee di the High Sheriff, who was. indisposed, th'efi ')Vile(i the business of the meeting, by reading the requi skint]. JOSEPH L. Eeq. (of Lemmington-hall) proposed the late Member for the County, T. W. Beaumont, Esq. T. R. BATSON, EST seconded the nomination. T. W. Baal/MONT, Esq. then presented himself. lie coil= demned the present meeting, ift dial hot blit cotibider it as most uncalled PO Mid atisltfd. Nur tonal he have detained them otte ttlntpAtit to teotark upon it, did he hot believe that his enemies were playing some tnifait Bathe behind the curtain - -that they had cotne secret and malicious end to serve if they had hot, Wity call such a Meeting ? it not, that they Intended to make known annul private transactions, Which they hoped would cause the Free holders to break the pledges of support they had already given to him. But he was there to answer, if any man dared to advance any thing against his honour, either public or private. Sir CHARLES LORAINE, Baronet, then proposed Matthew Bell, Esq. - . C. CLAVERIM tail. seconded the nomination of Mr. Bell. M. BELL,' Esq., felt the utmost gratitude to the freeholders present. Ile thanked th e in f or th e i r attendatiCe OH the present octagon. A great deal Wad been taiii Of bra being an old-fashioned Tory. He 'gkiried In the iiatne.;=he was' proud of being ranked with those *hn had, in the hour of danger, when the country was threatened with revolution, stemmed the torrent of distress, and brought the country to a state of the most enviable proeperi ' ty. He loved his Sovereign—he would support the measures of Ministers as far as they agreed with his conscience; but he never would *come the blind tool of any party. He had no advantage to hate for—no friends to serve.; and he was determined to se „Pire their independents, at the same that he maintained his own. It was ahnnst unnecessary for him to state his opinions at large to them again, they had heard them before, and to that statement he WIA determined to adhere. lie was a decided enemy to sla very of every description. On the question of Catholic emanci pation he must be allowed to say, that in a Protestant country he could not grant that the officers of state should be filled by others than Protestants. He knew that by the open declaration of his , opinions and feelings he had set in array against him all the Catho lic Freeholders ; but he Aid not fear those.--he threw himself and his cause into the hands of his Protestant brethren ; and he had the ntradat confidence in the result. Mr. Bell denied that any desire to coalesce with any one existed on his part. He also de• dared that he did not entertain the slightest feeling of hostility towards: any of ,the other Candidates. _ . Sir M. W. RIDI.VX, Bart.', M. P. proposed Lord Vim:omit Howiek.. Otto, l cry. (1 Whitfield), seconded him. Lord How lc K then addressed the marbly. He hogged to oey a few words in reply to what Mr. Beaumont had advanced with respect to the present meeting. It originated with his friends, and therefore felt himself bound to say, that it was a perfectly legal and constitutional measure. Such meetings. bad frequently been held, not excepting an occasion when Mr. Beaumont's father was returned member for the county. Mr. Beaumont had also said that there was . some secret and malicious end in view - in calling this meeting.; but what , secret pitrpose could there be in view in bringing together the freeholders in open day ? Did Mr. Bean- Mont fear that something might. be made public that : wnuld caw the freeholders to withhold from hiM their support ? He did not accuse Mr. B. of sm e th fears, - but it looked suspicions to ohied to meet his constituents, when every thing was fair and r above hoard. His Lordship then stated some of the pnblic.grounds upon xvhieli he thought Mr. B. an improper person to represent the county, in the course of which he mentioned several' instances of tergiversation on the part of Mr. B. Men ;night conscientiously, change their political opinions ; but what confidence could be placed Nam him who could so frequently anal so suddenly turn : - from one extreme to the other. Having occupied so much of their time, he would not now detain the meeting by any statement of his political principles—they were before. the county, and from them he would never swerve. • Tuna. CiAnsrm, Esq. of Harbottle, proposed the lion. H. T: Liddell, as a fit and proper person to represent the County of thrthUmberland, in the Commons' House of Parliament. He did not wish to say one word that would derogate from , any of the other Candidates, but he believed that in honour, ability, in dependence, or anxiety to serve his 'country, Mr. Liddell would rank second to none. The call that had been made on Mi. Lid dell by 600 moat respectable Freeholders, wonld not be in vain. W. CLatticx, Esq. of Benton,' felt great pleasure hr seConding the proposition. The lion. 11. T. Ltnnzu; felt the greatest , pleasure that none of the other Candidates had made the slightest reference to him. Ile was glad to perceive the conciliatory tone of the late member towards him. He (Mr. L.)opposed no man. He came forward to contend for a prize to which they all had a right to aspire; but he must repeat that he opposed nn man. A call bad been made throughout the county ; and from the numbers and the -reapectsbility of those who had done him that honour, be was perfectly satisfied that the public voice was in his favour. The call had been made, and having once offered himself to the County, he felt bound to obey. Much had been said about his :motiVes. He iVItS independent! If be was not independent, who was ? He sought no power, he courted no favour—he had ,learned to live epos a little, and with happiness; and sooner than :give up that independence which it was equally his duty to his to 'his Country, and to himself to maintain ; he Would earn his breed by the•.labour of his bands and the sweat of his brow. He was also accused of coalition. In the situation, in which he stood, it was impossible for him to coalesce with any nne, were he ever so willing—but he had neither cause nor the desire , to .do so. lie could state, upon his honour, that he had received promises of support sufficient to ensure his Success; and he Awaited the result of the poll at Alnwick, with calmness and confidence. • Mr. LAMBTON then presented himself to the notice of the meet ing ; he spoke at considerable length, and entered into a detailed account of the public conduct of T. W. Beaumont Esq., and taxed him with the. greatest inconsistency, pointing nut his entry into public life as the president of a Pitt Club—his turning an inde pendent, but of no party—his then writing a letter (which could be produced) to Lord Grey, stating his conviction of the necessity of a man belonging, to some party ; and expressing his determina tion to enlist under the banners of the Whigs—and his then brand ing the Whig Gentry of Northumberland as a base Aristocracy, and joining with the leaders of the Radicals—those men wbo had Assembled starving multitudes in the time of excitation and dis tress. Mr. Lambton now and then made sonic facetious remarks upon some persons in the crowd, wearing white favours, who it ap peared often annoyed him. lle expressed his astonishment at the misunderstanding and misrepresentation that had taken place with respect to his speech at Shields. All, he said, was, that if Mr. B. had lost the support of all the families of consequence in *County, had beat make known all the proceeding* connected with the affair, that the Freeholders . might he enabled to come to a right decision reapeeting it, lie wasitappy to bear testimony to the abilit y o f one, ot the candidates who he had heard for the, first time on that Occasion; and who had declared the public voice to be in his favour. But the proceedings of that day showed that the public f ee lt ng was with hiti noble relative, and with his cause. Public feeling might he exeited in a moment of sympathy for the Hon. Gent. ; hot iteould only ,he powerfully and effectually raised for the man who c arne tbiward on tried and constitutional lle concluded by recommending the cause of Lord Howick to the Freeholdert—as they valued dui past services of the man,who was above all place, and above all enrroption, be intreated them to place his son in that situation, the duties of which he would so fa;thfulty and so teaiously discharge; and proposed three cheer for lfrmick and Liberty. The Rev. Mr. BIRD read ad extract from the requisition, to prove the absurdity of the present meeting.... he said, the man that drew up that requisition, slid not know English, hot could he speak any bother langitage with propriety. He reprobated Mr. Lattibton'sititerfereno with the! contest, and asked if it Was not ton much, after the fatigue, anxiety, and expence, borne in can vassii', the county, for Mr. L. to com e d own an d te ll t h em t h at they had done nothing--...that they had reektineet without their host, because John George Lainbton was not there. Mr. Goes', of Millfiehl; knew nothing of any private quarrel between Mr. B. and any of the leading families of the county; but Mr. B. ought, it) common justice, to state how it happened, according to his o*n allowing, that he Was hht supported by one family Of conseqUenee lb the county. Mr. Braustawr did tidt tedlr fo Mr: baiiibhiti,becatise he hid no business there—he belongs(' to bttrhaitt; but Mr. bre) , was a most worthy and respectable Freeholder, and he would answer him with pleasure. The long-threatened question had at length been put.—:that question which was to drive him from NeiScastle, float Morpeth, fruits AlnWicL-in short, troth the county. Why had he forfeited i the cohtideticebf thh tyliel e ge nt ry of Norihumbet load ? He hall a private qiiarrel With tw o o f the Whig families of the county, and for that reason, without knowing any thing of the circumstances, the rest withdrew their support. He knew no other cause whatever. hint he valued not the opposition of those who had not the independence to think for themselves. Lord Howick and Mr. Grey knew not how deeply he had been injured, and he acquitted them of any personal or hostile feeling towards him Mir M. W. Rint.tv declared that he objected to Mr. 13., solely un the &Mind that he . had, for the last sir years, been a very irregular intender to his duties hi the House of Commons. Mt.

The'thanks of the meeting were given to Mr. Clayton, after which the meeting dissolved. LEICESTER-Wm.:Emmy, JUNE. 15. The polling commenced this morning at half-past nine o'clock, and closed at a quarter before five. .•Th@ ealullthites then riquined thanks to their friends. il.t7Avs,eipresseti himself tireli ettisfied with the numbers in his favonr, . considering the singular circumstances of the pot', and doubted not hut that the eventual success of his cause was cdhalh. • On the candidates and their, friends proceeding to their several Connultted-fooliii,. the itntnetise crinvil assembled commenced an attack on the outward barricadoes of the hustings, and on the pens set apart for Mr. Evans and Mr. Denman, in order, it is supposed, to give t r ee aecess to those gentlemen's friends. The Riot Act was said to have been read. in the early pert of the poll a Placard was exhibited at the bust high " tfd POpeky I.:A.:Cheap Bread !" The uproar and general tumult interrupted the poll, and the offensive placard was ordered off by the returning officer, amidst hootings and yells. This was the first disturbance to the harmony of the day. The Returning Officer mad Resod& (Mr. Goulburn), except as to his mode of taking the poll, presides In an impartial and gentlemanly manner. TAU'NTON'.-TUESDAY, JUNE 13. At eleven o'clock this day, the several candidates entered the hustings, undet the market-house, accompanied by their respective friends and counsel, the bailiff, and assessor. The place was soon thronged, and many hundreds could not obtain admittance. Mr. Wet. C. Cox rose to propose General Peachey as a can didate. No man could ever hope to come into Taunton, as a suc cessful candidate, who did not support the poor man's interests. Who brought Mr. Baring here?—The poor man. Who turned him out?—[From the crowd, " Pine crow, Charles Cox.] — (Cheers anti hissings.) I should be sorry if the poor man did not dictate in this election. On these grounds he begged to nominate Lieutenant-General William Peachey as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament.—(Cheers from the Blues.) Mr. Jrnoutir seconded the nomination. - (Voice from the crowd,' " I propose Mrs. Peachey.") General Pxaeltry rose, amidst cheering, and said, " Gentle men, my friends and worthy and independent electors of the borough of Taunton, it is with particular feelings of gratitude that I present myself to acknowledge the very kind and flattering manner in which I have this day been proposed as your candi date. I do, indeed, make some allowance fur the partiality and kindness of my friends, hut. I hope that. I shall never ,do . any thing, whilst a drop of blood runs through my body, which' shall prove me unworthy to eitstain that character which they think belong* to me. If Y felt, Clentlerneri, any lurking feeling of ma lignity in my heart toward*. any other man, I should feel less -confident than I dodia day. I should feel myself to be worse than I think I am._ I should think worse of human nature."— (Long continued cries of " Peachey for ever !") Mr. HENRY JAMES LEIGH proposed Henry Seymour, Esq. as • a fit and proper pfrson to represent the borough. Mr. Ihurrr rose to second the nomination. If he had the gifts of oratory, he should not think it needful to employ them, after, the very eloquent manner in which the qualifications of Mr. Sey mour had been represented :to the electors. But though ht was no orator, his heart was as good as any man's: he feared neither the sneers nor the scorn of any man.....-(lnterruptions.)—lf any man dared to insult him, he was ready to meet him as a gentleman, and would pl edge himself that Mr. Seymour would stand the poll to the last man.—(Cheers.) Mr. Szymora rose amidst loud cheers, and addressed hithself to the electors as their old and tried friend. Six years ago he was ambitious of the honour of reprenting them in Parliament, and had 'continued to he an up to tins time. At this moment he felt himself very much embarrassed by the flattering manner in which he had been introduced.—(Cheers, long continued, " Seymour for ever!") Mr. CHARLES Wzr.cn rose to propose Richard Esteourt Cress well, Esq. as a :non of sound, honest, and independent princi ples.—(lmmense cheers)! Mr. 'BUNTER then rose and said, "Acre has been so much gond temper in the manner, and good sense in the matter of °sir opponents, that I am almost sorry to say' any thing which may disturb the good feeling which exists among us. In fact, it seems now the fashion to adopt and extol the principles which were 'formerly decried ; and acting for principle and not for men, we find littl e to object to in the professioas of our political opponents. So much for principle. Now, gentlemen, I am sorry to tourh upon conduct which 1110 been witnessed on other occasions, since the commencement of this contest, us well as language which it was unpleasant to repeat, and which ought not to have been made use of for any purpose. I reliT to the scenes of the Market-house, when one of your present candidates applied the terms of "mis creant an d villain,' and suited the action to the word. Shall I proceed to describe that action ? General PEactlxv--"Do, Sir, I beg you will."—(ltnmense cheering from the blues, " Peachey ;" and " Buster" from the other side.) Mr. BUNTER-.." Am I, then, to imitate the manner of the can didate on this occasion ? I was challenged so to do, and am not disposed to shiink from any thing I say ; but it is not necessary. What I also witnesses! was witnessed by hundreds." Gen. PEACHEY......" I deny it as an infamous falsehood. (Confusion and cheers on each aide.) Mr. BUNTER resumed-e-" What does the Hon. Gentleman mean is an infamqns falsehood?" Gen. PEacnEv-4 , I deny your base insinuation." Rev. Mr. Carasweta.—Why does not the General avow what he did say and do?"—(From the crowd--" You are not an elec tor, and have no right to ask the question.")—(lmmtnse clamour, and cheers for the respective parties.) Mr. Buterrit resumed--" Then, Sir, I stand here in this situ ation—the candidate says I have made a base insinuation; I chal lenge hitn to tell me what he means, and he refuses to answer.--. (After some pause.)—l now proceed to other matters, in the way best calculated to ena bl e you t o come to a sound and hon es t deci sion. To enable y ou so to d o , a paper has been put out, if not industriously circulated, without any name to it, weighing the characters and claims of the respective candidates. The first on the ground was the gallant General Peachey t—‘ What has been his ambition through life ? Has he not moat strenuously exerted himself at all times for his country's welfare and prosperity ?' " General PZACUrr rose in great agitation , and said " Nor-- This extraordinary emot i on produced roars of laughter. Mr. Bo wran.--" The paper goes on—' Has be not exposed himself to all the dangers of war and climate in defetice of our rights as Engliihmen ?"f his St:it:retie mode of address is very good, but it might have been as well if,the questions had been answered." Mr. Cox. —It i s an a n nn ym . ous paper: we disavow it.-- (Cries from the crowd, "'Von circulated it. We know nothing of that paper.") Mr. IitINTEI4 , -..." one of the committee gave it to roe.—(Art other voice A n d i n me;' a npther, And to me:')—(lmmense up ro ar).--Mr. Bunter prOceeded " Many papers have teen, dis-' tributed which had better have been left alone; but I was not prepared to see one so full of conlllliment to two of the candidateal and so much in the contrary 4irit to the other, disclaimed by the friends of the former. (lid 110 expect that any body would father it. Thew , papers do not fill from the moon. I find them corning 'from persona employed by the Blue Committee— 'Acre are also other papers; one, ter instance, signed 'picky Gotiiiip.'—(Fr°rn the crowd, The Blue Committee have nothing to do with 4.1 tut if a committee close to circulate, or cause to be circulated, papers like these, atideking the personal characters of some indi viduals, and complimenting others, am I not to protium that they were published with the authority of that committee." Mr. Bunter then complained . of a coalition having taken place between General Peachey and Mr. Seyinour. • Mr. SErmoint declared there was no coalition; be should feel degraded by it. He had seen enough of coalitions to prevent him from making any. .The coalition between Mr. Baring and Mr. Warre was an awful warning. He found that gentleman here ruling every thing. Where was he know? BUi4TER.:-I am asked, where is Mr. Baring? I left him 48 hours ago at Callington. The first vote I ever gave was for Mr. Baring—l never repented it. I supported him for 20 years, and I believed I supported one of the most able, and ho nourable, and important men, who ever sat in Parliament. Mr. CRISSiVELL rose to make an appeal to the common sense of the electors': he totally disclaimed any feeling Of malignity or personal towards either of the other candidates. As to the poll, he would stand it as long as ever he found his friends willing to support him. They should sec him every day on the hustings. The worthy candidate was received with great atten tion, and we are sorry to be obliged to abridge his speech for want of time. The Bailiffs put the names of the difterent candidates to the show of hands; aud, after some considerable dittculty, declared the advantage to be in favour of Seymour and Cresswell. BRIDGEWATER. Consistently with that we have ventured to assert would be the result of the election for Bridgewater, we have the pleasure of stating that Mr. Age!) and Mr. Tynte were on Friday last again returned to represent that borough in Parliament.—There is not, perhaps, another instance in the kingdom in which the voters have behaved with such integrity, and there can be no conduct transpire more worthy of emulation than that of the honest electors of Bridge- Water in tl n present etereise of their elective franchise. Not a shil ling of expense has been incurred by either of the members, nor have they resorted to any of the vile stimulants of borough elections. The electors were virtuous, end did not require them, and the members they have returned were too deserving to need such so phisticated and disgraceful arts. A pure recognition of personal esteem,. enforced by the dictates of publie justice, have alone actu ated the electors of Bridgewater; and in this creditable exercise of their judgment it is not to he questioned that they will feel a more delightful reward, and individually more permanent benefit, than any derivable from a less scrupulous manifestation of their privilege. They now stand nobly redeemed from the heavy odium of that period when the infamous Bubb Doddington, Baron of Melcombe Regis, but too truly said of them, in his Diary— . " April 14, 15, Hi—Spent in the infamous and disagreeable compliance with the low habits of venal wretches—the electors of Bridgewater !" Instead of being the reproach of the western comities, they now present a splendid and enviable example of public virtue to all England. COVENTRY-JuwE 14. . _ The corporation-mob has been more outrageous to-day at the booth than at any time since the commencement of the election. Moore and Ellice's voters had their coats torn off, and were in other respects most shamefully maltreated ; and this conduct has been continued throughout the day. The state of the poll, there for., cannot excite surprise, when these circumstances are taken into consideration. At the close the numbers were— For Mr. Eyler - - ' - 1,162 -111 - Heathcote - - 1,161 Mr. Ellice - - - 377 Mr. Moore - - - 369 _ _ If the blues would remaidatauncli, it is supposed that it would he possible for them yet to succeed ; but as so ma'ny will turn to the winning side - for the ss. on the chairing-day, and the honour of a triumph, no expectation of ultimate success is entertained but by the moat sanguine partisans. After the close of the poll, Mr. Ellice addressed his friends. Conscious of having advocated the interests of his constituents with the utmost of his ability, he expressed himself as an honest man would do, who was treated with ingratitude. A more de voted servant the freetuan never bad, and the state of the poll ex hibited their disgraceful requital. He assured them he was certain of success, and that he had a large majority to poll. May it prove so ! LEOMINSTER. Lord Hothsm was duly elected ; but, owing to the eligibility of Mr. Blab being questioned, it is left for the House of Cummons to deride which is to he the other Member. DEVON COUNTY NOMINATION. Tuesday the 13th being fixed for the nomination, Sir Thomas Acland and Mr. Bastard appeared on the hustings in the Castle yard at Exeter, at twelve eielock, and the High Sheriff, L. W. Buck, Esq., M.P. for Exeter, iinmediately proceeded to open the Special County Court. • Sir LAWRENCE PALK' then' (lame forward, and in a few words nominated Mr. Bastard, whose upright and independent conduct, he said, rendered him every way qualified to represent the county. FULTORN it was with feelings of pride awl satisfaction he seconded the: nomination of Mr. Bastard, who had represented the county Of Devon 'in three successive Parliaments with honour to himself and attention to their interests. --( Hear, hear !) JAmrs W. Bourn, Esq., iiilt•rpposing Sir Thomas Acland, felt relieved from much of the - difrienity he should otherwise ex perience, because the Hon. Baronet Wan one with whom they had long been acquainted. 'On these grounds, therefore, he proposed Sir Thomas Arland for the honour of again representing the county of Devon in Parliament. L P. Lyort, Esq., in seconding, spoke highly of the public conduct of Sir Thomas Arland. The Rev. J. P. JONFN was anxious that the freeholders should be impressed with a sense of the duty they had new to perform. Alr. Jones concluded by asking if any freeholder had a candidate to propose. . . No other candidate being proposed, Mr. Bastard came. forward and briefly addressed the freeholders, thanking them for the con fidence they bad reposed in him, which, should they re-elect him, should never be abumed. Sir THOMAS ACKLAND said, if he had been fortunate enough to have addressed the freeholders a quarter of an hour since, his tusk would not have been merely an eaßy, but a most gratifying one, he should then only have had to thank them for the kind, indulgent, and unanimous feeling which welcomed the eloquent appeals delivered in his favour by the gent.leutan who. proposed and seconded him. The Hon. NawroN Fruowits (lid not present himself to the freeholders to support either of the candidates, but to condole with the friends of Lord Ehrington on the loss of their cause. lie would not say one word about the present Candidates, but of their votes he would assert, that there was nut on e o f t h em from w hi c h he did not cordially dissent. Colonel Pr la. said if there had been the 'lightest chance of Lord Ebrington's success , he would no t h ave st i rre d f rom t h e busting. until the noble Lord had been proposed ; "hut" said the Colonel, "our poverty, nut our will, consents." The Sheriff then proceeded to declare the nomination in favour of Sir T. Acland and Mr. Bastard, and the meeting sepa. rated. ROCHESTER. ttsDA v. The contest between the Blues (Mr. Bernal), and the Pinks (Major-General Armstrong), is very interesting and animated. The poll has just closed Dundas - 604 Bernal - 313 Armstrong - - - 204 Seven hundred and sixty-one freemen have polled ; there are nearly 300 who have not yet given their votes. The success of the General amazes every one, coming, as he did, destitute of any ostensible and leading support. The event is yet doubtfill ; but the most prejudiced must applaud the conduct of the General and his friends. Generally, the feeling iliaplayeti on all side. is a strong proof of the " march of intellect ;" awl, if we might pro .. phecy, that the General will not have to " brat a march." HUNTINGDONSHIRE.

THORNHILL, Esq. who said he felt assured that the confidence which the county had ao long reposed in Mr. Rimer had never been misplaced. Mr. FELLOWZS Olen presented himself to the meeting, but was unable at first to obtain &hearing. He said, " 1 ask your suffrages as an independent gentleman of the county ; but if you think proper to refuse ma this honour, I shall retire irate private with the consciousness of having dischared my duty." H. P. STANDLY, Esq. next proposed Lord John Russell, g observed, " I have only to mention the name of Russell, awaken your warmest affections. His whole conduct proves tl he is the friend of the people, and that your interests are neat to his heart. In conclusion, Mr. Standly remarked, that hoped the county had some notion of its independence. and we evince it, by again returning Lord John Russell to Parliament their representative." J. B. ROPER, Esq. seconded the nomination. Lord JOHN' Ressetl, then presented himself to the Meetii amidst great applause, and spoke nearly to the following effeo —" After the able and eloquent speeches you have heard from gentlemen who have so kindly nominated me, it becomes my di to ask, whether I have retained, or whether I have forfeited, I confidence of my constituents ? What has been my conduct, tl after I have served the county for 5 years, a combination shot have been formed to exclude me front my seat—a combinati which have not scrupled to use menace and intimidation to effi their object. They have affirmed that there was an understan ing between me and the House of Montague, that when a met her of that family came of age, I was to resign my seat to hit I challenge any one to come forward, and substantiate the sec sation publicly. I will pause, and allow them time to make their minds to do so, if they can." After a pause of son minutes, his Lordship resumed—" I declare, in the presence my opponents, and in the face of this numerous meeting, that tl report is false and calumnious." • General Osstow then proposed Viscount Mandeville, and as he felt assured that if be was returned to Parliament he woe serve the county faithfully. , T. QUINTIN, Esq., in a few words, seconded the nomination, Lord MANDEVILLE then presented himself to the Meeting, at was received with considerable applause, though not without son interruption from the Blues. His Lordship said, " I come to ward perfectly independent, and if you think proper to elect ni I pledge myself to support every measure which may be for tl good of the country, and of this county in particular." The High Sheriff then proceeded to take a show of hands fc the respective candidates. A very few hands were held up fi Mr. Moms ; the name of Lord John Russell was received u'il the most deafening plaudits, and an immense number of ban( were held up in his favour ; the show of hands was also nun roue for Viscount Mandeville. _ _ The High Sherifftlaclared the numbers to be in favour of Lot John Russell and Lord Mandeville. A poll was instantly di mended for Mr. Fel!owes, and the High Sheriff announced that would commence at twelve o'clock. Before the High Sheriff quitted the hustings, Lord Maw claimed permission to address the meeting, and silence being of tained, his Lordship said, that bethre the freeholders proceeded 1 the poll, they must allow him to congratulate then' upon the in mense majority which had avowed themselves in the cause " Russell and Independence." Lord MANDEVILLE endeavoured again to obtain a hearing, bi the noise was so great that it was impoftible to hear him bryon the hustings.
